A rare Shark hardly seen by human washes out at beach

Mega-mouth sharks are very rare to find, but on the morning of the 28th of January, last week Wednesday, a 15-foot
adult male megamouth washed up on the shores of Barangay Marigondon in
the Philippines. And according to reports, the shark was dead when
fishermen discovered it. It had been trapped in one of the fishermen
nets. After contacting local authorities, it was confirmed to be the
ever elusive megamouth shark, Megachasma pelagios.

With only 64 previous sightings of this type of shark ever recorded, its
discovery was thrilling. The shark's cause of death has yet to be
determined but it is believed its body will likely go on display at
Albay Parks and Wildlife Centre in the Philippines. See more pics after
the cut.
